Overview of Department of Public Safety

The Department of Public Safety is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of programs, regulations, policies, and initiatives that enhance campus security and educate the campus community and visitors as to their personal safety responsibilities.

DPS aids in the provision of services that enhance faculty, staff and student life, mobility, and the overall campus experience. DPS works closely with the office of faculty affairs to ensure that safety policies and procedures relevant to SOM faculty are fairly and equitably executed. In the event of an on or off campus issue that involves an SOM faculty member, their first point of contact will be the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs or their designee.
Relevant services for SOM faculty include: 24-hour uniformed campus security patrols and canine unit, natural disaster preparedness, live video monitoring of all campus foot and vehicular traffic, fire safety training, maintenance and monitoring of safety equipment, issuing of Faculty IDs, faculty parking permits and enforcement of parking regulations and liaison with the Royal Grenadian Police Force, National Disaster Management Agency and other relevant  emergency services as necessary to respond to on or off campus incidents.
